After a 14-hour writing marathon yesterday, I’m feeling a bit delirious, but discovered some great comic relief buried within this morning’s e-mail offerings. trippin’s producer Agustin, who is first and foremost an anthropologist, has a new book coming out (well, several actually – he’s a prolific fellow, that one) including one entitled MONKEYS ON THE EDGE. Folks at the publishing house were so delighted by the title, they come up with this concept for the cover. We so need them for our next movie poster!
Just like Sheila E., Devi wants to live the glamorous life. She’s not quite there yet. In the meantime, here’s where she’s at…

Words can’t begin to describe the past 6 weeks. Perhaps if time ever permits I will give it a try. In the meantime, a quick update on all the Deviant News that’s fit for print (there’s actually quite a bit of it that just isn’t quite yet, alas.) Read the rest of this entry »
The Death of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Other Balletic Nightmares

So, Agustin surprised me with tickets to the Nutcracker Suite as performed by the L.A. Ballet Company this past weekend. Wow (but not in the good way, alas). It was nearly as disappointing as Aronofsky’s BLACK SWAN (except for 3 saving graces in the 2nd act.) Ballet sure has changed since I had to hang up my toe shoes due to an ailing knee back when. But, perhaps I dodged a bullet. Read the rest of this entry »

My first semester at the Academy was quite a whirlwind. Friends teasingly referred to me as “Mr. Chips,” “To Devi With Love” and inquired after my Sweathogs. 
Ah, Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not at Notre Dame anymore. But in truth it was a great experience. It’s very different teaching at a performing arts college as opposed to one of the top academic institutions in the world, no doubt. Read the rest of this entry »
Horror Blast in Oklahoma
December 9th, 2010 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
Talk about too much of a good thing! First, I was asked to be a judge at my beloved Dragon*Con, but alas just couldn’t afford the hefty hotel fees. We were also to screen at Horrorfind which is a super fun event as well and where I knew friends I haven’t seen in ages would be in attendance. 
But like Mae West, “Between two evils (or 3 and make them horror fests in this case), I always pick the one I never tried before.” And I’m glad I did. Because running concurrently was the Oklahoma Horror Fest, where I ultimately opted to go (courtesy of Delta air miles) and had a blast! Read the rest of this entry »
